Anyway - I think Hegseth pressers should be mandatory.

Anyway - I think Hegseth pressers should be mandatory. Because flat out if you listen to that guy for five minutes and don't walk away doing the Mitchell and Webb "are we the baddies?" bit in your head - you are the fucking problem.
I get that this is baby's first anti-imperialism level shit, but in case you haven't noticed Americans are literally ignorant of events beyond their shores, so this is pretty relevant even though it shouldn't be.
Hegseth SOUNDS like the bad guy, more every day too.

Like, Brey, they're literally just playing clips of you - that's why it sounds bad, because you're a psychopath or at least have adopted this persona because you think it pleases your audience of one. The rest of us? Think you're unhinged. I wasn't kidding earlier, this guy literally sounds like Cobra Commander.

This is setting aside the fact that a much better Defense Secretary STILL couldn't sell ME PERSONALLY a war in Iran.
But Hegseth so obviously has no idea what he's doing it's farcical. The man is out here literally BRAGGING about maiming Iranian politicians... at some point, your ability to outrun reality with stream of consciousness bullshit runs out and I think that point was four or five days ago (at BEST) for Hegseth.
Americans will support a dumb war. Nobody wants to be a Stormtrooper.

Like, I can't stress this enough... the guy talks like a comic book villian.
This is not hard man. Americans supported Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq (TWICE) before they didn't. We're a very stupid, gullible people.
But we're not spoiling to be the Empire in Star Wars. Nobody wakes up in the morning and says "what if Skeletor was president; wouldn't that be nice?"
These morons can't even do the single most basic thing the entire American propaganda machine was DESIGNED TO DO - sell imperialism.
